Having attentive witnesses with good info made all the difference in being able to solve this case. (per news conference question).
If he was ' merely' washing his clothes and destroying evidence at laundromat, would that justify calling laundromat a 'crime scene' ? That seems odd to me.
"Was the body in tact"
"I'm not going to discuss that at this time, just that we have recovered a victim"
Oh lord
WTH did he do to Hailey's little body that LE couldn't even recognize it was a human being?????????????
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What an evil monster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's the deal - sad as it is, things take time.
If they had two license plates to work with (one had an F and one an S), then they have to find owners of both vehicles, or at least the one that matches a gold pick up. Then they have to go to that guy's house and try to locate him. Maybe he wasn't home. it's unlikely LE had a cell phone number for the owner of a vehicle registered to DPS. Then he has to say who borrowed the truck and maybe find out HIS address if they don't have it already.
That takes time. They had this guy by 8 p.m. on a call that came in at 3 p.m.
And really, it's unlikely an amber alert activated instantaneously could have turned up this poor girl quicker than the information they already had from the very alert witnesses.
They were looking for a man in a gold truck. How many people knew this guy had borrowed a truck that day?
Sorry to say this but he may have used acid not fire. Absolutely horrendous what ever he has done.
She was within a block or two of her house. ;(
??? When I looked it up on Google maps, I would say the two homes are separated by about 2 miles. Surely anyone chasing the truck on foot or in a car could manage to stay with it for "a block of two" ???
Since the murderer borrowed the truck, careless LE might easily have jumped to the conclusion the owner was guilty, disbelieved his "I loaned it to somebody" alibi, searched his property, and generally made his life miserable. It wouldn't be the first time LE developed tunnel vision about an "obvious" suspect.
